HARVARD UNIVERSITY

HARVARD UNIVERSITY MEDICAL SCHOOL/HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH

According to the Wall Street Journal, Anheuser-Busch Cos. has "in the past two years donated $150,000 in doctoral-student scholarship funds to the Harvard School of Public Health." (Kevin Helliker, Sarah Ellison, "Anheuser Wants World to Know Beer Is Healthy," Wall Street Journal, 12/9/2005, p.B1)

THE INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH ON PATHOLOGICAL GAMBLING AND RELATED DISORDERS According to its website, “The mission of the Division on Addictions at Harvard Medical School is to strengthen worldwide understanding of addiction through innovative research, education, and the global exchange of information. Our ultimate goal is to alleviate the individual, social, medical, and economic burdens caused by addictive behaviors. The Division will offer encouragement, education, and training to both the next generation of health care workers who treat addictive disorders and to scientists who study addiction. The Division will provide knowledge to public policy makers and the public alike. Finally, the Division will provide a message of compassion, tolerance, acceptance, and hope by representing Harvard's commitment to the advancement of addiction science.” ( http://www.hms.harvard.edu/doa/aboutus.htm ; accessed 11/9/04)

According to the Boston Globe, “Virtually all its funding comes from the gambling industry…Over the last four years, the institute has received nearly $5 million in industry. “In 2000, the [National Center for Responsible Gambling] promised Harvard Medical School's Division on Addictions $2.4 million for two years of work. The Harvard institute has kept about half the industry money for in-house research, distributing the rest in grants to researchers at other universities. Harvard renewed its contract with the NCRG for another two years in 2002 and recently signed a three-year deal expiring in 2007, maintaining the $1.2 million annual funding level. The contract is renewable at the discretion of the NCRG board, a 19-member panel the gambling industry touts as balanced between industry and non-industry people. However, four of 10 non-industry representatives have financial ties to the industry that are not disclosed in NCRG publications or federal tax forms, the Globe found.” (Mishra, Raja, “Gambling Industry Link to Harvard Draws Questions,” Boston Globe, 11/6/04, p. A1)

HARVARD CENTER FOR RISK ANALYSISAccording to its website, the HCRA "was launched in 1989 with the mission to promote public health by taking a broader view. By applying decision science to a wide range of risk issues, and by comparing various risk management strategies, HCRA hopes to empower informed public responses to health, safety and environmental challenges by identifying policies that will achieve the greatest benefits with the most efficient use of limited resources." (http://www.hcra.harvard.edu/about.html; accessed 03/29/06)

HCRA Studies Supported by Industry Include:

The United States Tuna Foundation gave $500,000 for a 2005 study of the risks and benefits of hypothetical changes in fish consumption. (Am J Prev Med. 2005;29(4):325–34.; Burros, Marian, “Advisories on Fish and the Pitfalls of Good Intent,” The New York Times, 2/15/06, p. F5)

Documents from the litigation against tobacco companies indicate that John Graham, the founder of HCRA, solicited and received $25,000 from Philip Morris but returned the check, asking that it come from Kraft, a Philip Morris subsidiary. (Letter from John Graham to Philip Morris Corporate Scientific Affairs, 1/31/92; on file at CSPI)

DEPARTMENT OF MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY According to the website, the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology established the Corporate Associates Program (CAP) in 1995, “to stimulate interactions between Harvard scientists and members of the biomedical industries around the world. The program, by creating closer ties between the academy and industry, promotes the shared goal of scientific excellence in biomedical research and its beneficial application.”

INSTITUTE OF CHEMISTRY AND CELL BIOLOGY/INITIATIVE FOR CHEMICAL GENETICS According to The Scientist, Merck made a yearly contribution of $1 million for a period of five years (1998-2003) to Harvard's ICCB and has pledged a “generous gift” to support continuing graduate education at Harvard.
